Eyes
I'm in a crowd of people,
walking slowly by.
Looking and examining the faces,
not knowing why.
Their actions and phases;
a couple smiling, angered grimaces, wet eyes,
or even sometimes,
blank eyes, that stare, telling nothing.
My head drops down,
watching my feet carry me away.
Expressions always have something to say.
When I lift up my head,
you look into my brown eyes,
tell me what you see no lies.
Tell me, can you see the pictures of the smiles and wet eyes?
Tell me, can you see the pain and confusion?
Do you see me completely?
Take my hand, whipe the tears from my face.
Fill the empty space,
when you do, you'll fill your own.
Since you've let go, the pain has grown.
But tell me you can still see,
That smile I miss so much, it makes me.
I'm asking you to set it free.
When you do,
I'll set yours free in return.
My eyes will look into yours,
Find the sadness, the madness,
kiss it away gently and ever so passionately.
We'll be that couple with the smiles.
I'll win you over.
Wish on a four leaf clover,
look at the brightest star,
travel any distance no matter how far,
get down on my kness, ask just please.
When your eyes are filled with pain,
my world is constantly in rain.
Each drop like poison, killing my soul.
You said I was the one,
I know you're the one.
You said you'd wait for me,
I'll wait even longer.
You said you'd never hurt me,
You said you'd never lose me,
but things don't always turn out like you want them to be.
Your eyes are hiding in the dark.
Come out from the shadows,
let my voice be your guide.
I know your heart hasn't died.
I walk in the same crowd.
Time stops, reality becomes an outside world.
No matter how I try to get back,
I can't because it's you I lack.
Still, I look for the familiar face and touch.
Rain still falling, all the unhappiness.
Fake smiles, gut wrenching laughs,
legs and feet that hurt after every step.
I'll take each one with hope and courage,
enduring the pain. But the thing that hurts even more,
I'm afraid I'll never see you at my door.
Love makes you do crazy things,
It's nothing compared to the happiness it brings.
Will I ever feel it again?
Will the pain get worse times ten?
I'd like to know.
Until then....
Know that my eyes will be searching,
my arm forever reaching,
and my heart forever loving you.
